Clayton’s hand reinjured at training…clearly hasn’t been right all year. 

Any mention of how long?

No mention that he will miss, but they were doing a tackling drill and Kolt got Clarry and he got up grimacing and holding his hand.

I thought the guys were on a 6 day break? Was there a training session? 

A bloke from an inner suburb  on the north western side of town said he  thought he heard something went on down at the local in regard to wagering.

They are. It ended today. If there was a training session today (on a Sunday?) they weren’t all in attendance.

edit: they did train today. Not all were in attendance

After watching North vs Pies today I would say that North are red-hot favourites to [censored] us next week. 

After watching north for 12 rounds id say they are red hot favourites for the spoon

If it was / is that dodgy he was probably a week to week proposition anyway.

Then you have to ask, why did we play him vs Brissy when all the signs and the timing said don't.  He even came off the track after the Cap run that week and looked very worried, chatting to trainers for at least 3 to 5 mins.

Give him that week off, get the opp, then another 4 to 6 to fully heal.  He's back for the Saints match (latest).

Instead we gave him the bye to get over the opp and straight back into it again for Anzac eve.  Has never looked fully right besides maybe one or two reasonable games since.

He effectively missed the pre-season, and has been playing catch-up ever since. Regardless of what's going on with his hand, he's never going to be fully right until next year.


The players were mostly back today for the mid season breakfast meeting with their club sponsor. Training was after breakfast and I was told the emphasis was on goal kicking. From what I saw on the news the emphasis was on tackling and pressure (Clarrie came uo saw in a wrestling match with Kolton).

I believe McVee wasn't available not sure if he has an injury. I would really like to see him in the midfield for a stint.

Our best in form wins came against Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

Can't count St Kilda as a one of our best wins lol. They're absolutely crud..

No coincidence that BB played alright in those games where we had blokes like ANB and Langdon playing their natural position. 

And beating the previously-undefeated Cats. Which feels like it was in a different season. 

Pies were bad first half.  Loading?  Were witches hats for Norf training run.  Switched on 2nd half and shot them lame duck that the shinbones are.  We got this.

Yep.

Unfortunately same goes for petty, McAdam, BBB and possibly tmac (I say possibly because tmac has looked in remarkably good nick given he had an interrupted preseason).

Agree, but at least Clarry is have a crack, do you honestly think Petty is?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
